Brand Profile

Cohiba XV cigars are the response to the rising demand for fuller-flavored cigars by cigar master Daniel Nunez who set out to create an extension of the hugely successful Cohiba cigar line. The result is the Cohiba XV cigar, an Extra Vigoroso cigar line made with all the inspiration and dedication to quality that have made Cohiba one of the most respected premium brands in the country.

The most distinctive leaf of a Cohiba XV cigar is its sun-grown Sumatra wrapper from Ecuador. Harvested only from the tops of the tobacco plants, each of these wrapper leaves is aged in tercio for three years. The flavor is then enhanced by aging all of the leaves again for six months in crates of fragrant cedar. In crafting Cohiba XV cigars, the most flavorful Nicaraguan Ligero and Dominican Piloto Cubano Ligero are bound with the richest three-year-old Connecticut Broadleaf. The result is a cigar that is made, not only to please, but also to impress.

Every inch a Cohiba cigar in terms of its tobacco selections and craftsmanship, Cohiba XV cigars deliver the richest, deepest Cohiba flavor.

The Dominican Cohiba cigar took years to develop. The Cohiba Red Dot Cigars dark, rich cigar wrapper leaf is grown in the sub-tropical West African climate of Cameroon. Cohiba's supple and flavorful Jember binder is grown in Indonesia. To balance the richness of the Cohiba cigar wrapper, the smooth-smoking Piloto Cubano filler leaves are grown in the Dominican Republic.

The Dominican Cohiba cigar is a deeply satisfying, rich in flavor and history that does not overpower the smoker.
